Today is a day we will always remember the men and women who lost their lives. We will teach our children about this piece of history as we lived through it. We will teach our kids how as a nation , this event drew us together to be angry at one common enemy. Today is a day if remembrance and reflection.

We enjoyed a night of tractor pulls last weekend at the American Threshermans show. The steam engine sled pull never disappoints. The kids absolutely love it. It was such a fun night for all to see some great tractors rip down the track. Until next year.
